Feom Me J. Holloway, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Nelson: “ I feel I ought to place on record my high appreciation of the waters of your justly famous baths For many months past I have suffered from a severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, onding latterly in complications of scarcely less painful nature. After about a month’s residence at Te Aroha, I am thankful to say I can move about with considerable ease, while the pain: from which I have suffered so long has almost left me. It will be my pleasure as well as my duty to recommend all my friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Ta Aroha.

From Captain T, Eraser, M.L.C. Dunedin “ I shall be pleased if you will ive me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion of the Te Aroha Springs. Since my residence at Te Aroha, from what I have seen and heard, I am convinced that these springs contain extraordinary curative properties itribe following complaints : Suppressed gout, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders; and as the springs are proved to contain heavy traces of lithia, tiiey must be effiacicus in renal complaints. ' When, ever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te* Aroha Springs.” ; Fbom Mb Balfodr, Manages op the Bank of N.Z., Napier. “I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the Te Aroha hot baths. I have been subject lor many years to rheumatism, and in April last had a very severe attack, whic i proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, was ordered to the hot s ./rings. When I arrived at Te Aroha l was suffering much from rheumatism, which prevented my ■deeping at night, and made walking during the day a difficulty ; but from using No. 2 bath for a little over three weeks the pains have entirely left my head, and do not give any uneasiness in my feet; in fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am compla,el> cured and greatly improved in health. Dr W, R. Ebson op Onehunga, Aucei/AND. “ The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate a residence here, and a course of judicious treatment by the ‘ El Dorado’ for the majority of un fortune ate sufferers in most forms of rheumatism <out, a large namber of kidney affections, and iast, but not least, that complaint which flesh heir to—dyspepsia.
